    9. Rooming Arrangements Rooming arrangements have been made and hopefully you looked at them. If you would like to change these, see us tomorrow with an agreed change. In Melbourne we have mainly 2’s and 3’s At Cedarwood we have mainly 4’s and 6’s.

    10. Behaviour Expectations Follow instructions. Be on time, never late. Stay in groups, never alone. When coming down to breakfast in the hotels, please don’t wear pyjamas. You must wear shoes. Consequences lose independence, will have to stay with adults. Sleep on floor in appropriate staff members room. Serious breaches could result in student’s being sent home at parent’s expense.

    11. Safety Issues Students must attend lessons, they teach you about the mountain, where you can go safely. How to avoid injuries. Students must ski in groups of 3 or 4 at all times. Obey ski patrol instructions and ski within your limits. In case of an accident on the mountain, the ski patrol will attend to you and take you down to the medical centre. They will contact Mr Darby, Mr McKillop or Cedarwood. Must not leave the mountain until allowed to do so by their allocated staff member.

    12. Spending Money 11 meals @ $15 = $165 Movies @ $20 Ski Gear General spending money, gifts etc Shopping ?? Ensure you have your student ID

    13. Cameras and Web page In past years we have created a web page to keep parents up to date with what is happening on the trip. You can also download documents that you may need. To achieve this we find it useful if: We have email addresses that parents actually check. Could students who bring digital cameras also bring a USB cable to connect the camera to Mr Darby’s laptop.

    14. Electronic Media Students must ensure that all digital media are used appropriately (Including phones, cameras and laptops). No images of other students or supervisors are to be taken or used without their permission. All digital media are to be switched off at times determined by the supervisors.
